Right now, I'm listening to a playlist Spotify made for me from the things I listen to. I'm sure I've confused the heck out of its algorithm, since at any given moment, I might listen to anything from pop to gospel to jazz to TV theme songs.
Just in the past two days, I've listened to:
"Song for America" and "He Knew/Carry On Wayward Son" from Kansas' double-live album Two for the Show,
"Sermonette," "Twisted," "Caravan" and "Gimme That Wine" from Lambert, Hendricks and Ross' The Hottest Group in Jazz;
too many to mention fromTelevision's Greatest Hits;
"Long Train' Runnin'" and "Jesus Is Just Alright (sic) with Me" from the Doobie Brothers' The Best of The Doobies;
"Monkey" from George Michael's Faith;
"Jesus Is Still Alright (sic) with Me" from DC Talk's Free at Last;
"Papa Was a Rollin's Stone" from The Undisputed Truth's The Law of the Land;
"Maggie May" from Rod Stewart's Every Picture Tells a Story;
"Papa Was a Rollin's Stone" from The Temptations' All Directions;
Sarah Vaughan's "Bye Bye" from Sarah Vaughn Sings the Mancini Songbook
I first posted about this on December 12 of last year, but just yesterday I listened to Beethoven Blues by Jon Batiste. I like classical music and I like jazz, but when I can't decide between the two, this is the album I listen to.
With the story behind Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska set to be explored by the feature film Deliver Me From Nowhere, Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition (4 CDs + 1 Blu-Ray) gathers revelatory unheard material from this prolific period including the fabled Electric Nebraska sessions with the E Street Band and solo home and studio recordings, joined by a 2025 remaster of the original album, plus a new performance film of all ten Nebraska songs played in sequence. Springsteen’s 1982 acoustic masterwork is augmented by 17 contemporary recordings (15 previously unreleased) that were part of the groundswell of inspiration that shaped Nebraska and share its haunting themes. Together, they expand our understanding of how this seminal album came to be and reflect the breadth of Springsteen’s creative intentions at a pivotal moment in his artistic development.

Open NOTE to Rob Staeger: The last time Hendrix was discussed, we left it with you deciding that your first Hendrix album would be his first album, Are You Experienced? That is an important and influencial album, but I don't think it will really show how innovative a guitarist he was. This one will.

The thing is, I think Hendrix's albums got better as he went along. As I see it, Axis: Bold as Love is better than Are You Experienced?, and Electric Ladyland is better than Axis: Bold as Love. So why didn't I just recommend Electric Ladyland to begin with? I could have done that, but it would have been like starting listening to the Beatles with "The White Album" or the Rolling Stones with Exile on Main Street. Electric Ladyland is a double album, roughly half briliant innovation and half self-indulgent experimentation, whereas Axis: Bold as Love is pretty much all innovation. Apropos that, I find most of the postumous stuff released by his estate in the 2K-teens to be the most innovative of all, but it never would have been accepted as an album in the 1968-70 era dutring which it was recorded.
Tracy is out doing her own thing this afternoon, giving me the opportunity to "crank it up to eleven," but so far I've only listened to disc 3. I'm not a guitar player, but I can generally understand what I'm listening to if someone takes the time to explain it to me, and this release has excellent liner notes. Speaking of "this release," here's what it's supposed to look like...
...except mine was missing the Blu-ray for some reason. I'm going to have to look into that.

Thanks a lot, Jeff! Wow, that's a handful!

SAVING GRACE by Robert Plant was released on September 26. I missed it, but I'm listening to it now.
